If the talking heads on television don't tell us about something that happens, does it make that event any less real? Of course the answer to that question is quite obvious, but unfortunately way too many Americans allow their realities to be defined by what they hear from the mainstream media.

Way too many people use phrases such as "if that was true I would have heard about it on television" to deflect conversations that are starting to become uncomfortable.

Critical thinking is a skill that is in short supply in America today, and most Americans seem content to let their televisions do their thinking for them. Sadly, the pretty people on television do not spend a lot of time talking about the things that are truly important. Instead, they love to talk about the latest celebrity scandal and they love to divide people into groups and get them fighting with one another.

In this day and age, it is absolutely critical that we all learn to think for ourselves. The talking heads on television are concerned with keeping their bosses happy and with keeping the ratings up. Most of them are not really concerned about what happens to you. They just want you to keep watching them so that they can continue to earn their inflated salaries.

Unfortunately, most Americans seem perfectly content with the "infotainment" that they are getting from the major news networks, so major changes to the mainstream media are not likely to happen any time soon.

For those wanting something different, you will have to seek out alternative sources of news (such as this website) that are willing to discuss the truly earth shattering events that are continually taking place all over the globe.

So what are some of the things that the mainstream media has been ignoring?

The following are 19 things that the talking heads on television have been strangely silent about....

#1 Strange Things Happening On The Sun
A lot of really weird things have been happening on the sun lately. For example, recently there was a tornado on the sun that was five times larger than Earth. The following is how this solar tornado was described by a recent Wired article....

Over the course of three hours, this behemoth reached up from the sun’s surface to a height of 125,000 miles, or roughly half the distance between the Earth and the moon. The hot gases were whipped up to nearly 186,000 miles per hour. In comparison, the wind speed of terrestrial tornadoes generally reaches a paltry 100 miles per hour.

#2 Fukushima
Fukushima has turned out to be the worst nuclear disaster in human history and it is far from over. In fact, there is still the potential that an earthquake or an explosion could cause the crisis at Fukushima to become far more dangerous than ever. In fact, some officials have even discussed the possibility of evacuating Tokyo if a worst case scenario plays out.

Mitsuhei Murata, a former Japanese ambassador to Switzerland, wrote the following in a March 25th letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon....

I was asked to make a statement at the public hearing of the Budgetary Committee of the House of Councilors on March 23. I raised the crucial problem of N0.4 reactor of Fukushima containing 1535 fuel rods. It could be fatally damaged by continuing aftershocks. Moreover, 50 meters away from it exists a common cooling pool for 6 reactors containing 6375 fuel rods!

It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of Japan and the whole world depends on NO.4 reactor. This is confirmed by most reliable experts like Dr. Arnie Gundersen or Dr. Fumiaki Koide.

Please allow me to inform you of an initiative being taken by a former UN official who is endeavoring to have the Nuclear Security Summit take up the crucial problem of N0.4 reactor of Fukushima. He is pursuing the establishment of an independent assessment team. I think his efforts are very significant, because it is indispensable to draw the attention of world leaders to this vital issue.

So just how serious is the threat posed by the spent fuel pool at reactor number 4?

One of the biggest issues that we face is the possibility that the spent nuclear fuel pool of the No. 4 reactor at the stricken Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant will collapse.

The storage pool in the No. 4 reactor building has a total of 1,535 fuel rods, or 460 tons of nuclear fuel, in it and the storage pools are barely intact on the building’s third and fourth floors. If the storage pool breaks and runs dry, the nuclear fuel inside will overheat and explode, causing a massive amount of radioactive substances to spread over a wide area.

The worse-case scenario drawn up by the government includes not only the collapse of the No. 4 reactor pool, but the disintegration of spent fuel rods from all the plant’s other reactors. If this were to happen, residents in the Tokyo metropolitan area would be forced to evacuate.

#3 Mount Fuji In Japan About To Erupt?
Mount Fuji in Japan had been dormant for about 300 years, but in recent months there have been a lot of signs that the volcano is waking up. If Mount Fuji were to experience a full-blown major eruption, millions of Japanese could potentially die and the Japanese economy would immediately collapse.

Reports are appearing about unrest and signs of a possible awakening of Mt Fuji volcano in Japan. According to a report which includes an unclear photo of the area, a row of new craters, the largest 50 m in diameter, has appeared on the eastern flank of the volcano at 2200 m elevation. Steam was observed erupting from these vents. The observation joins other signs suggesting a gradual reawakening: A swarm of earthquakes including 4 of magnitude 5 have occurred northeast of Mt Fuji on and after 28 January. An earlier 6.4M quake occurred under the volcano on 15 March 2011. The report also mentions increased activity from a fumarole vent at 1500 m elevation and hot spring areas at the eastern flank observed since 2003. These locations seem to be aligned geographically, and are probably connected. Dr. Masaaki Kimura of Ryukyu University is quoted to admit that there is an increased risk of an eruption on the eastern flank and that the status of the volcano should be closely monitored.

#4 Stunning Rise In Volcanic Activity Around The World
All over the world major volcanoes are showing signs of awakening. We are especially seeing a rise in volcanic activity along the "Ring of Fire" that encircles the Pacific Ocean.

#5 Global Food Prices Rising Again
According to Reuters, global food prices have risen for three months in a row and are rapidly approaching record levels. The food riots that we have seen in the developing world during past summers could be even worse this year.

#6 U.S. Government Debt Downgraded Again
Credit rating agency Egan Jones downgraded the credit rating of the United States from AA+ to AA last week. There was barely a peep about this on the major news networks.

#7 500 Million Dollars To Help The IRS Implement Obamacare
The Obama administration is giving the IRS 500 million extra dollars "outside the normal appropriations process" to help them implement the provisions of Obamacare that they are in charge of overseeing.

#8 Go To Jail If You Offend Someone On The Internet In Arizona?
A proposed law in Arizona will actually make it a very serious crime to annoy or offend someone on the Internet. So if you live in Arizona, you might want to be very careful about what you say if you leave a comment at the end of this article.

#9 Passport Suspended For Not Paying Taxes?
A bill currently going through the U.S. Congress would allow the federal government to suspend your passport if you have unpaid taxes. If you are not able to pay the taxes that you owe, you could end up stuck in the United States indefinitely.

#10 Preparations For War In The Persian Gulf
A second U.S. aircraft carrier is on the way to the Persian Gulf. Tensions with Iran continue to increase, and over the past several months there have been all kinds of signs that military preparations are being made for an eventual conflict.

#11 Mysterious Mass Deaths
Large numbers of birds, fish, dolphins and whales continue to die all over the globe and scientists do not have any explanation for why this is happening.

#12 The Federal Reserve Monetizing U.S. Debt
During 2011, the U.S. Federal Reserve bought approximately 61 percent of all U.S. debt that was issued according to an article in the Wall Street Journal. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke promised that he would never monetize the debt, but that is exactly what he is attempting to do.

#13 Giant Sinkholes
Enormous sinkholes continue to open up all over the planet. For example, a mammoth 200 foot wide sinkhole recently opened up near a town in Sweden.

#14 Increase In Global Earthquakes
As I have written about previously, we have seen a substantial increase in the number of major earthquakes around the globe in recent years. So far in 2012, we have seen four earthquakes of greater than magnitude 7.0, and all four of them have been along the "Ring of Fire".

#15 Increase In U.S. Earthquakes
Scientists are acknowledging that there has been a huge increase in the number of earthquakes in the center of the United States, but they are blaming this increase on fracking.

#16 Evacuation Drills At U.S. Public Schools
All over the United States, public schools are conducting "evacuation drills" which involve putting children on buses and taking them to alternate locations. Sometimes the alternate locations are "undisclosed" and parents are only told what the undisclosed locations were after the drills are over.

#17 Strange Sounds In The Sky
All over the planet, people are hearing strange noises in the sky. People have come up with all sorts of theories and explanations for why they are happening, but so far the mystery has not been solved and reports of these strange sounds continue to pour in from all over the globe.

#18 Crazy Tornado OutbreaksSo far in 2012 the United States has had a very unusual number of tornadoes. In fact, so far we have seen about twice as many tornadoes as usual. The 2011 tornado season was one of the worst ever, and the 2012 tornado season could end up being even more traumatic.

#19 Obama Signs Disturbing Executive Order
A few weeks ago, Barack Obama signed an executive order that would allow him to take control of all food, all energy, all health resources and all transportation resources. This was an update to an old executive order, but the Obama administration made a change that would allow Barack Obama to do this even in "non-emergency" situations. Sadly, the talking heads on television were strangely silent about this.

The world that we live in is becoming increasingly unstable.

The political order is being shaken, the financial world is being shaken, the social fabric of our society is being shaken and even the ground under our feet is being shaken.

Previous generations never had to deal with a world that was changing at blinding speed. The rate at which things are moving is almost unimaginable, and it just seems to keep accelerating with each passing year.

We are privileged to live during one of the most exciting times in human history, but it is also likely to be one of the most dangerous times in human history.

The talking heads on television are going to keep telling us that everything is going to be okay and that everything will "return to normal" very soon, but that simply is not going to happen.

Our world has reached a critical juncture, and a time of great shaking is at hand.

In Islamic theology - there will come a time when;

* There will be so many earthquakes that people will wonder what is happening to the earth.* There will be a fire that starts in the East and spread to the West.* The World will be gripped in tyranny.* Unjust people will be rulers all over the World.* These rulers will choose to show Hell or Paradise (on Earth) to whom they please But the exact opposite will be the truth! (Shown Paradise will be the real Hell!)

. . . and thousands more predictions that have already passed. 99% of them have already passed with very few left, but anybody can now see them on the horizon.

People need to wake up and smell reality. We have been convinced that the media are the propagators of truth in a deceitful world, but it's quite the opposite. All of these calamitous events may be indicating that the Mayans knew something we don't, and we are so arrogant and stupid that we make a Hollywood film poking fun at the prediction. I hope the world goes to shit, it would certainly serve us right.

Will it awaken us? Now that we can image sun tornadoes and map global quaking, will we be more conscious of our fragility? For instance, why ignore our shared problem at Fukushima while starting new wars in the ME and Africa? Fukushima alone could provide adequate cash flow for the contracting class - and if not having a radioactive planet isn't a big enough pay off...

Back in the days of Milken, the economy was reinvented - the power of finance unleashed. Nothing could be clearer than the fact that that experiment has failed. Yet we continue to let finance wage war against us all, simply because finance now owns "democracy" (copyrighted trademark). We continue down a ruined road because to do anything else is too hard, too disruptive, too much change. The allegedly-free world is being destroyed to keep the billionaire class in power.

I am afraid Humanity votes for more of the same. More misery and starvation. More war. More exploitation. More hurt and stupidity all around. It is so much easier to keep doing what we've been doing, even when we know its sorrows.

I can imagine many life-affirming optimistic changes that could be made, but all require the courage to change. As we have seen, the Change Candidate is more of the same. Real change might have to be supra-human and that Force doesn't even care if we continue, let alone if we live with Grace.

But thanks for asking! And Helllooo, from one human to another. We lived!

It is soon time for earth to graduate, to become a Heavenly sphere of Light, Love, Purity and Perfection. All who are pure in heart and obedient to God's Eternal Laws will graduate with earth, to become All-Powerful God-Beings of Light, Love, Purity and Perfection. It is soon time for our entire solar system to move closer to the center of our galaxy, the Great Central Sun. (SaintGermainPress.com, SaintGermainFoundation.org,tsl.org)Pray for God-Discernment to recognize Truth from lies, Good from evil, Right from wrong and Wisdom from foolishness because EVERYTHING on this planet has become corrupted including the above websites and organizations. However, the above websites can assist you on your journey to Godhood.

There are many things that are "ignored" and even more that are lied about.

Follow the trails and it much leads to the NWO with a police state over much of the worlds population.

The one thing that you do not mention in your article though is..UFO and ET.

That subject has been hushed for a long time. It is seldom mentioned by media and for most of those few times that it is mentioned, there is included mocking of the subject.

Still we have well over 250 million ufo reports since the 1960s to present. You would think that the media would actually take a serious approach on a matter that has been with us though our entire recorded history.

I have seen crafts so close I could have thrown a stone and hit them. I have had close encounters with crafts and abductions by ET. Because of the events I have experienced..I do see how many things are connected..and it does have connection to the way the world is changing.

People seem oblivious to too much, and that really is not the way we should be.

Of course, IF nature does a big number on us, then that will overwhelm everything else. However, even though everything here is connected, I believe that the main effects will be from our fellow humans going through psychotic breakdowns, as the inevitable final results from too much triumph of huge lies, being backed up with violence, that could never make those lies become true, finally is backfiring very, very badly! Natural events will be going nuts, but our fellow humans will surely go more nuts, and that will become more important to us!

There is no real way to prevent nor prepare for these events. Since 99% of the people are not prepared, the 1% that have tried to be prepared are not really prepared either, since they will be overwhelmed by the 99% who were not prepared, and so, will then be going crazy.

My guess is that the exhausting oppression is going to finally change to split things apart!

What should be said will not be believed. We shall have to stake our lives on following through on our own will. It is way too late to stop the runaway fascism now. There is no longer any hope for the bureaucrats to do anything other than make it get worse. Instead, our fate is to go on through. Near the end, we shall have to abandon ourselves to these flows beyond our control.

Whether we like it or not, we are going to go through some dispersions and dissolutions, towards whatever kind of spirituality is after that. It will appear to us as a strange foreign language, that we do not understand, but nevertheless, should attempt to understand.

You forgot to mention the Obama eligibility fraud; i.e., the fact that Obama is demonstrably not a "Natural Born Citizen" of the U.S. (and thus not constitutionally eligible to be President); the fact that Obama proffered a fraudulent birth certificate and selective service registration card, thus implicating himself in a high level criminal conspiracy to defraud the American people; and the fact that his Mother was only 18 years old when he was born, meaning that he may not even be a U.S. citizen at all.That the putative President of the U.S. may very likely be an illegal alien should be an important news topic, shouldn't it?

I'd be more concerned with retail banks hypothecating your mortgage equity. When they fail you will owe the bondholders the entire face value of your home again no matter what you have paid in on the mortgage. All technically legal and there is nothing you can do about it.

You speak heavily in this article about events related to nature. Judging by your first paragraphs, you might want to heed your own advice.

Just because you are hearing about more natural disasters doesn't mean they are occurring any more frequently than normal. With the SOHO trained on the Sun now, we are observing many, many things we've never seen before, such as solar tornadoes. We never possessed the technology to observe said events.

Earthquakes, sinkholes, volcanoes... all natural events that you would have never heard about if our planet's population hadn't boomed to 7 billion. We as humans are living in more at risk areas, therefore any natural disaster within a population zone is going to make the waves.

And for the bloke yapping about the LHC... please. Try doing some real research on the facility instead of droning up whatever fits your conspiracy tendencies from the internet. Mini black holes? Give me a break. You don't know the first thing about physics, do you?

Personally, I believe that the only thing that will force a change on this planet is to arrest and prosecute every government official in every country and everything above a Sargeant in the military.Then destroy ALL 13 Haarp locations and let Mother Nature do what only she does best.Then go BUY A GUN!You're going to need it to take out what's left of the trash.Believe it or not, I've never even considered attacking some poor soul in some other country. Most people don't think about that... but governments do.What's next?Total and complete destruction if people don't STOP the government insanity!

After the plagye there wasn't enough people to even have wars, so there was peace in Europea for many decades. Now we are swelling with people. You only count what the elite need you for. There is too many people with money. The poor need to go to their mansions and drink their wine, eat their caviar and swim in their pools. The rich could stop this nonsense. The poor just get by, but don't know if they all worked together they could be a billion strong.

The Mayans could not have known what was going to happen in the future. We don't even know now, though we know the elite are going to commit another attack and then martial law and we are pretty sure it's going to be inside of 5 months, but we don't know for use. So how could primitive people know?

one other thing that is not being talked about is anything to do with positive use of marijuana, even websites like "above top secret" wont go there. goverment is really scared of that little plant, HEMP the little plant that could destroy the oil industry "golieth".

Speaking for Americans I can say this. If the majority do not feel any signifigant impact the status quo thinking will remain. If their worlds are flipped and affects felt they will pay attention. That which they do not see as in Fukushima or murder for hire wars they are able to remain mute. UNtil THEY are affected nothing will change.

Amazing. The sheeple prefer to sleep through the last moments of the current kingdom. Christ alone who took on flesh, born in the form of helpless babe, then lived a perfectly sinless life DIED to free us from the horrors coming on the earth. Exchange your pitiful, futile, abhorrent, miniscule, meaningless life (what is left of it) for LIFE ETERNAL THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. Believe, don't believe, that's up to each one of us. May God save your souls.

Out of all the comments on this excellent article. All have missed the most IMPORTANT thing. This is not our home, we are just passing threw. We need to know that there is a GOD that has sent his SON to pay a price that we could not pay, for our sin. For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD. If we believe in our heart that God sent his SON to die on a cross and raised him on the third day, and we invite HIM in our heart to be our LORD and SAVIOR we will have ETERNAL LIFE. All these things must take place first, because we live in a fallen world. It is good that we keep up on what is happening in the world today, but if we each are right with the LORD. We will get to see this EARTH made NEW again. We will rule and rain with HIM for a thousand years on this NEW EARTH.I hope they post this as it gives us ASSURANCE on our FUTURE.

It is sad to see natural selection and the natural culling of the human race before our very eyes, but that is what is happening. We as a people on Earth will constantly evolve and emerge stronger. Wake up, fearmongers....

but i would point of one thing first : it seems to me every one falls into the trap of normal ... it is so misleading to state normal as a past thing , the world and all in and on it are in constant state of change ... that is what is truely normal . so it should be made a point and an article on normal being a constant state of change needs to posted to bring this to the awareness of the general public . and the use of the word normal always need a qualifier such as normal for 1953 or 60's decade , ect... the alternative change/normal is stagnation which ends with purification and after along enough period of time death .

here's another big thing not being reported in the corporate media... Obama is a 100% fraud using nothing but forged documents and a made-up life story! Made up by whom? By Bill Ayers who wrote his book, communists who put obama in power, and pull his strings today. Please take this seriously, it is the KEY to exposing the global conspiracy. www.wnd.com and www.westernjournalism.com www.birtherreport.com. Wake Up people, we outnumber them, We don't have to play along and act like we accept this!

If the talking heads on television don't tell us about something that happens, does it make that event any less real? Of course the answer to that question is quite obvious, but unfortunately way too many Americans allow their realities to be defined by what they hear from the mainstream media.

Way too many people use phrases such as "if that was true I would have heard about it on television" to deflect conversations that are starting to become uncomfortable.

Its very late in the game.In fact it seems to be the end game.After Kennedy was murdered that was possibly our last chance.Now its time to get ready.Not to live. But to soar out of our stricken world on to the future."Everyone must die...But there is no death."The prison planet is about to come the hell planet.Leave the 1% in the hell they made.

Do you remember Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy? Remember how the story begins with Earth being destroyed to make room for a new galactic Highway? Is this why the 1% is using weather weapons and other tricks to destroy our earth??Who is buiding the highway?

The Hegelian Dialectic which is the lifeforce of the 'illuminati paradigm' assumes that the initiating thesis is founded on 'Absolute Truth.'This is patently false and insultingly absurd.Thus the antithesis and synthesis stages merely serve to compound the illusion upon which the entire model is predicated.Proposed alternative paradigm:The "Map of Consciousness" that expresses the "Initiating,Innate Being of Isness'(God) knows not duality,rather graduations of the "Love" paradigm.There is only one variable-"Love" or its absence.There is not Light and Dark,rather Light or its absence.Thus the 'illuminati paradigm' effectively sustains itself on the conflict created by its discourse of discord.A process of Cause & Effect.In the "Love" paradigm there is no this causing that,rather there is a source that is the initiating cause of the Ego.Everything therefore is, at every instant,the perfect expression of that which it is.The "Love" paradigm's evolving thesis states that the evidence of the presence of God within you is your existence as "spirit" in human being!

A lot of hot air here, and I'm not talking about weird weather phenomena. I was immediately struck by the stupidity of number one - as stated above, the solar activity is not strange at all. Then just a random check on one of the other claims - well, not really random as I picked the Swedish sinkhole since I am from Sweden: turns out to be the roof of a mine caving in, basically, and not quite expected by the mining company. I'm pretty sure most of the other examples are equally un-extraordinary, or at least unconnected, but sure, put 'em all together in a long list without fact checking them and it looks like a pretty good conspiracy, huh? Sigh.

In the vein of critical thinking, and without necessarily negating the points presented by this article, I think it is important to factor in the phenomenon of information age technology and the saturation of information, in near real time, of global events. Even 10 years ago there wasn't the data collection that there is now of global events of whatever nature. With the corresponding increase in information and correlative interpretations about such data, it would be foolish not to factor in that we just know more about what is going on than in the recent past. This is fear inducing in itself. I happen to agree with most of the points raised in the article, but they would not be possible without the meta-systemic perspective that is evolving. This combined with the other fact that data collection of global events hasn't really existed in a combined nature (such as databases and other cross-referencial data media)until the industrial revolution was realized; my point is that there are cycles, natural and man-made, we just have no base-line parameters or understanding of. Critical thinking must incorporate this factor as well.

You G.O.Pigs are so small minded. Here we have global calamity, possible ET invasion and mini-black holes threatening to send us all to the friggin shadow zone. And what do you keep ragging about? Oh, my candidate lost the election to someone who cheated! First is all, that is EVERY election! Its a dog and pony show. Second, it is a fart in the celestial diarrhea we could all be drowning in. Get a life already, or go back to church and hide there behind your idols and engraven images. Let the enlightened do the thinking for your feeble little brain.
